  • Wisconsin Woman Fatally Shoots Car Salesman While Arguing Over Faulty Vehicle

    Wisconsin Woman Fatally Shoots Car Salesman While Arguing Over Faulty Vehicle

    A Wisconsin woman is now in police custody after a heated argument led to the fatal shooting of a car dealership employee, the Wisconsin State Journal reported.

    The Middleton Police Department is investigating the death of Kawsu Samba after a shooting occurred at MSI Auto Sales in Middleton, Wisconsin, the 34-year-old’s place of work. Two hours later, 23-year-old Jakira Anderson was located and arrested without incident.

    According to police documents, Anderson had been at the dealership for more than four hours, attempting to get a refund or an exchange for a faulty vehicle she had recently leased. When the conversation with Samba escalated, the suspect pulled out a gun and shot the victim as he attempted to push her out of the building.

    Anderson, who had purchased the gun legally and carried it in her waistband, told police that she had no intentions of harming the man. She says that she wanted to intimidate him. “I wasn’t trying to kill him- just scare (him) away,” she allegedly told Detective Daniel Jones. “I didn’t think I was going to hit him. I wasn’t even aiming or nothing.”

    Unfortunately, though Samba was taken to a nearby hospital, his wounds were too great and he was pronounced dead shortly after. Anderson was later charged with first-degree intentional homicide. She is scheduled to reappear in court on March 30th, and is being held on a $1 million bond.

    State Assistant Public Defender Adam Welch says that though Anderson fled the scene after the shooting, “there are also facts in the complaint suggesting that Miss Anderson felt threatened at that time and was afraid.” The criminal complaint against the suspect stated that video from the dealership’s surveillance footage showed Samba repeatedly pushing and shoving Anderson, but no additional information has been provided.

  • Black Teen Mistaken For Robbery Suspect While Driving His White Grandmother Files Lawsuit Against Officers Involved

    Black Teen Mistaken For Robbery Suspect While Driving His White Grandmother Files Lawsuit Against Officers Involved

    A black teen who was pulled over and arrested while driving with his white grandmother in 2018 is now suing the cops involved because they never told him what the arrest was for except that they received a

    “suspicious tip,”

    The Root reports. He now wants to know what made him look suspicious. 

    In 2018, Akil Carter was riding with his grandmother Paulette Bar, and her friend, Sandra Adams, both white women, from church when he was suddenly stopped by police. The incident occurred near the Mayfair Collection outlet mall in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. Carter was pulled over by Officer Patrick Kaine who said in court Monday that he received an

    “urgent notice”

    from a

    “tipster”

    about a block boy robbing two white women inside a blue Lexus. 

    Dashcam footage obtained by WISNM 12 News shows the moments leading up to Carter’s arrest. Kaine is heard yelling at the teen to get out of the car with his hands up and walk backward toward the officers. Kaine is seen drawing his .40 caliber Glock service weapon while another officer is handcuffing the teenager. Carter is then placed in the back of the patrol car while his distraught grandmother explains that the boy is her grandson. The officer is heard apologizing to the women and says he was given the wrong information from

    “tipsters”

    who were reportedly never to be found. 

    Carter’s attorney, claims his Fourth Amendment right to be protected from

    “unreasonable seizure”

    was violated. In the lawsuit, it says officer Kaine had

    “no probable cause to believe Carter was doing anything criminal,”

    reports state.

    21-Year-Old Woman Says She Was Having A ‘Dream’ When She Stabbed Her Former Boyfriend 19 Times

    A woman from Wisconsin, Morgan Lund, who reports note has a history of abuse claims she was dreaming the moment she stabbed her former boyfriend 19 times, court documents say, according to the New York Post. The 21-year-old mother pleaded not guilty to the Feb. 18 stabbing for reason of mental disease. 

    Officials got to Lund’s home not too long before 8 a.m. and discovered her weeping as she was drenched in blood and applying pressure to her former boyfriend’s wound, says a criminal complaint that was filed against her. She informed officials that she

    “thought she saw something”

    when she stabbed her ex. She went on to say that she was concerned that there was

    “something wrong with my head.”

    The former couple has a child together and recently called it quits. Lund said she woke up that morning of the attack close to 6:30 a.m and took their child to the living room, where her former boyfriend was asleep on the couch. Reports say the mother took her child to the living room so the baby could play in the playpen and she could go back to sleep. 

    Court documents say,

    “She had a muddled memory of something that might have been a dream, or her imagination, but she thought the [victim] was yelling at their daughter.” 

    The woman informed officials that she witnessed a gloaming, non-human

    “figure”

    and then began attacking her child’s father with a scissor. Reports added that Lund had been hallucinating for six months at that point. This caused her to grab a scissor and stab her ex because she thought he was the dark figure. Her ex informed cops that he was able to get a hold of her. The woman went on to say,

    “that she did not know what was happening, she had a dream.”

    The former boyfriend asked if Lund can grab him a towel, which she then

    “said something about, ‘I don’t want to lose custody.’”

    Luckily, the unidentified man survived. He later said that Lund has been abusive in the past. 

    She is being held on a $250,000 bond and charged with attempted first-degree intentional homicide.

    Woman Asleep In Car Wakes Up To Find Stranger Driving Her Away From Rest Stop

    In Columbia County, Wisconsin, a woman who was sleeping in her car parked at a Love’s Truck Stop, while her husband went inside to use the bathroom, woke to a stranger driving at high speeds, NBC 15 reported. Video footage from the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office captured the January 14th pursuit.

    When the female victim spoke to dispatch, she informed them that she didn’t know her location, but read road names and signs that were around the city of Lodi, Wisconsin. During the call, the victim and suspect are also heard arguing.

    “ You know, you should get back,” the victim said.
    “I will. OK, I’m going back,” Wagner said.
    “No, you are not,” the victim responded.

    In police documents, the car thief and kidnapper reportedly told the victim that he was a truck driver and that there was “a conspiracy and that people wanted to kill them so he was saving her.” He also falsely told her that her husband was dead.

    At around 4 A.M., officers located the vehicle and began to chase it. Police dash cams show the car swerving and crossing over to the wrong side of traffic. Half an hour later, a police vehicle used tire deflation devices and a chase tactic, causing the car to hit a guardrail and lift into the air.

    The suspect left the vehicle first, and runs to safety. Police then arrest Kyle Wagner, who admitted to have recently using fentanyl and meth. The 51-year-old has since been charged with operating a motor vehicle without the owner’s consent, false imprisonment, attempting to flee or elude an officer, and possession of methamphetamine. Wagner is being held on a $40,000 cash bond, and is scheduled to appear in court in February.
